<p><b>Print and hand in this exercise at the beginning of the Sensors Lab.
It will count as the quiz for the Sensors Lab</b></p>

<p>This assignment will introduce you to the fundamentals of Mindstorms
programming. Each student will be assigned a programming task by their TA. You
will write a program in Mindstorms that uses sensors to complete the task assigned
to you.</p>

<h3>Program A</h3>

<p>This program will run motors A and B, reversing motor A after 4 seconds.
Then, it will stop motors A and B when touch sensor 2 is released.</p>

<h3>Program B</h3>

<p>This program will run motor A while touch sensor 3 is released.  When touch
sensor 3 is pressed, motor A will reverse for 2 seconds and stop.</p>

<h3>Program C</h3>

<p>This program will run motor A when light sensor 2 is less than 35. When
light sensor 2 is greater than 35, it will reverse motor A for 6 seconds and
then stop the motor.</p>

<h3>Program D</h3>

<p>This program will run motor A after 3 seconds when touch sensor 3 is released
and then reverse motor A for 3 seconds when touch sensor 3 is pressed.  This
program should continually check the sensor's state by jumping to the beginning.</p>

<h3>Program E</h3>

<p>This program will run motors A and B until touch sensor 3 is touched, and then
will reverse the motor for 3 seconds and then all motors stop.</p>

<h3>Program F</h3>

<p>This program will run motor A after 3 seconds when light sensor 3 is greater
than 40 and then reverse motor A for 3 seconds when light sensor 3 is less than 40.
This program should continually check the sensor's state by jumping to the beginning.</p>

<h3>Program G</h3>

<p>This program will run motors A and B and wait for light sensor 3 to be less than
25. Then, the program will reverse motor B for 3 seconds and then all motors stop.</p>

<h3>Program H</h3>

<p>This program will wait for 4 seconds and run motor B. Then, it will reverse
motor B when the distance of ultrasonic sensor 3 is less then 10 cm or run motor
A for 1 second when the distance of ultrasonic sensor 3 is greater then 50 cm.</p>

<h3>Program I</h3>

<p>This program will run motor A for 3 seconds, and then wait for touch sensor 2 to
be pushed.  Then, it will reverse motor A.  Then it will wait for touch sensor 2 to
be released, and continually run this set of operations by jumping to the beginning
of the program.</p>
